Baumgartner went free-falling for approximately 3 minutes and 48 seconds, with a top speed of 536 mph (863 kph), before launching his parachute. After 10 minutes and 30 seconds of gliding, he safely landed. Baumgartner’s main goal, however, is a space jump from 125,000 feet (38,100 m) in the coming months. The current world record for highest-altitude skydive is at 102,800 feet (31,333 m) and it was achieved by U.S. Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger in 1960. Interestingly, Captain Kittinger is also an adviser for Baumgartner’s Red Bull Stratos Mission.
